The Auckland Museum is about 10 mins mainly flat walk. The Parnell Rose Gardens about the same. The quaint Parnell Village including about 35 restaurants & Cafes is just 200 metres. The Auckland waterfront is a short bus ride - 10 mins on the Link Bus. The CBD is about the same. matt_parkes wrote:

Ocean out front, mountains behind. Good bars and cafes. Does it get any better?
